One photographer in the train station said the police just stood and didn’t shoot back.....even as they were being gunned down.
Sheep are sheep....

I see some have acted like sheep now, sadly. But soon these guys are going to be like a bee hive and take it to the “neighbors”.

I’d like to see simultaneous strike-backs on Pak, Iran and the Somali coast.

Let’s get it on and set them back about 20 years. We should have slapped Iran down in 1979.

The regular police in India are armed with revolers and sometimes bolt action Enfield rifles. They certainly are not trained to take on terrorists with automatic weapons.
I am not surprised they hid instead of fought.
The police do not encounter the same level of violence and are not trained for it.
Most of the threats they have faced have been from bombings or single armed individuals. This is a new threat.
On the other hand..their intelligence service has abilities ours does not have..wire taps and searches. They have prevented a lot of attacks.

I’m shocked he’s admitted they had warning. They’ll have their pants sued off.
To: Oldexpat
Coclsuion from your post. They were warned and were provided exrtra security consisting of seriously under armed and poorly trained police officers. Let me make my reservation now.

Taj Majal Hotel owner: We Had Warning You had warning, yet and 10 guys caused absolute havoc against 5,000 security forces that converged on the scene?

I can’t imagine why anyone would want to visit there in the first place.

I think it’s a big tourist attraction. Wonder of the world and all that. Isn’t that why the terrorists hit there? To rip the heart out of tourism?

I cant imagine why anyone would want to visit there in the first place.Given what just 10 people could do to this place, I am confident most are rethinking their travel plans. And justifiable so.

Frightening.
"It's ironic that we did have such a warning, and we did have some measures," Tata said, without elaborating on the warning or when security measures were enacted. "People couldn't park their cars in the portico, where you had to go through a metal detector."
However, Tata said the attackers did not enter through the entrance that has a metal detector. Instead, they came in a back entrance, he said.
"They knew what they were doing, and they did not go through the front. All of our arrangements are in the front," he said.
"They planned everything," he said of the attackers. "I believe the first thing they did, they shot a sniffer dog and his handler. They went through the kitchen."

Ponder for a moment what must be swirling through the heads of the people who run the latest high-end resort area in Dubai...
